Step 1

Create your StudentAid.gov account:

Students and parents login to Federal Student Aid to complete the FAFSA. You should set up your account now.

A student and one parent/guardian should have an account. These accounts need separate email addresses associated with them. Students should use a personal email, not their school email.
